Scott Pilgrim Developers Kickstarting “Mercenary Kings”

Scott Pilgrim Developers Kickstarting “Mercenary Kings”

None

Tribute Games, which is made up of many developers who worked on the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World game, are attempting to Kickstart a new game. That game is Mercenary Kings, a side-scrolling run-and-gun game in the vein of Contra and Metal Slug.

But there is one big difference between Mercenary Kings and the classic 2D shooters of old. Mercenary Kings has a deep weapon customization system that allows you to craft weapons using parts you find lying around. Oh, and yes, the game will feature the bizarre pixel art stylings of Paul Robertson.



The team is asking for 75,000 dollars, but in just a day they have already raised 20,000 dollars of that goal. Then again, the 75k mark is just what they need to get out of the door; they’re hoping to get more than that, which will allow them to implement features such as online co-op, leaderboards, and most importantly a console version of the game (due to the massive publishing fees that Sony and Microsoft charge.)

Individual Kickstarter rewards include T-shirts, hoodies, beta access, and a copy of Wizorb, the company’s previous game. The T-shirts and hoodies will bear designs by Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley.
